“Emily was an absolute star, saving us with a very last minute request for a dog sitter. Responding swiftly with messages, but also driving through the snow to come meet Buffy before hand. Buffy made a new best friend the moment Emily arrived, showing how great she is with dogs and we can't thank her enough for looking after our dog x”
“This is my first experience of this service. I contacted Maisie to care for my two cats. She responded promptly to my message and was spot on time for the introductory visit. Maisie asked relevant questions about the boys care and explained that I would receive photos and a message after the visit. I was happy with the care provided and would book Maisie again.”
“Lauren was lovely and friendly at the meet and greet and did a great job of looking after my cats and guinea pigs while we were away. We got lovely reports and photos - we will definitely book Lauren again ☺️!”
About: I have had cats since I was 5 years old and dogs for 3 years. I have handled everything from feeding and cleaning to birth and feeding newborns every two hours. I even have experience nursing a cat with congenital heart failure. I have a trained Afghan hound who can be off leash, so I am no stranger to stubborn active “untrainable” dogs. I am currently free with no commitments and so if needed can take on same day booking for walking and check ins. I will always update my availability. I will always follow the instructions and requirements given by owners. I understand the level of trust placed by owners to anyone they entrust the care of their beloved pet or their home environment and therefore understand that communication is vital. I will always give a report about the walk / check in and will update owners on any injury or out of the ordinary behaviour. My vast experience permits me to recognise canine and feline body language paying attention to the small details.

About: After my westie passed away 8yrs ago, it took me a while to figure what I wanted to do with my life, I’d lived with various dog breeds and cared for them, so the natural path for me to pursue was working with animals, this bought me great happiness and joy, it healed my heart. This is my full time calling, I dog walk on certain days and diary allowing I pet sit, I cover Leicester but I also do ad hoc sits. I always do a meet and greet, get a full history of the pets, walk them with the owner. I get a full rundown of the home. Typical questions: age, breed, allergies, medication, walks, food & treats, vets details, where they sleep, when they were last groomed and vaccinations.
“Sapphire looked after our cat for 4 days whilst we were away, it’s the first time we’ve used a cat sitter and we were a bit nervous but as soon as Sapphire got to ours, our minds were put at ease 😊 She sent us lots of great pictures and kept in touch throughout the 4 days and even made sure our plants were watered before she left! 100% recommend Sapphire, I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to look after our cat any time. She’s absolutely brilliant and we can’t thank her enough for being so great! Thanks Sapphire! Xx”

About: I have a Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Diploma - CPD certified - I am insured and I have a DBS check. I take caring for pets very seriously and provide them with safety, care and affection while you're away. I am a uni student, so I have plenty of time to look after your pets outside of my studies. I am quite flexible. I am able to look after pets on some weekdays, evenings and weekends, and I am available full-time outside of term time. Due to my flat's pet restrictions, I only provide pet care services in my clients' homes, such as house sitting and home visits. This also helps your pets feel more at ease as they remain in a familiar environment while you are away.
“Ria dropped in on my kitten, Luna and I could immediately tell they had a great time. She played with her and fed her and when I returned, Luna seemed really happy. I would definitely be using Ria again to look after Luna. Thanks again!”
“Martha looked after my cat well and updated me a couple of times during the days I was away. She obviously loves animals and made an effort to interact with Rupert during her visits and whilst usually timid he warmed towards Martha and enjoyed the attention. I would recommend Martha for cat-sitting and if I need someone to look after Rupert when I am away again I would not hesitate to use Martha.”
About: I’ve had around 10 years of experience caring for pets and have always been passionate about animals. Friends, neighbours and family regularly rely on me to look after their dogs, feeding, playtime and general care. I’m patient, reliable and always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe and well looked after. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine and I have a flexible schedule which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need. I’m available feeding, playtime and check-ins throughout the day, and I always make sure pets stick to their usual routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable and well looked after at all times. I carefully follow any instructions given by the owner regarding feeding, exercise and routines. I’m very attentive to pets’ behaviour and needs, and I always make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime and care while their owners are away.
“Becky has been brilliant with Monty and a lifeline for us when we're both out! We're always kept up to date with photos and a complete diary of their day together which puts us at ease. Monty's clearly well looked after and is always a happy boy when we see him again. Would recommend to anyone.”
About: I have always cared for pets at my home from dogs to cats, stick insects to gerbils, you name it! And my passion for animal care led me to completing my BSc Animal Science (Pet Behaviour and Welfare) degree at university for four years. I have the practical and theory skills to handle all kinds of pet care, including veterinary work and husbandry experience. My pet behaviour pathway at university gave me the opportunity to work for a pet behaviour clinic for a year specialising in dog behaviour and training, so I know the patience and love required to care for and train the most anxious pets. It can take time to build trust and my policy is always to do so with a gentle hand and maybe a treat or two! I'm currently working part time so have a flexible schedule for your pets' care including weekend stays, day visits, walks, feeding and more. I’m happy to stay for longer/ overnight visits so you don’t have to worry for your pets while you’re on holiday. I'm very happy to take instructions from you on what care you believe your pets require or anything you wish to request of me during my time with them. Whether this means using crates or not, treats, outdoor time...etc.
About: I have experience with dogs through my business Dig&Dog, by helping out family and friends, and through voluntary work abroad. I have taken care of lots of different breeds, sizes and ages and therefore can cater to any needs! I have my own business offering a variety of pet services including house sitting, dog walking & drop in visits. I often house sit overnight and work in the garden in the day, but often have availability for dog walks/drop-ins, especially in the autumn/winter. I have grown up with two cats and surrounded by the dogs and cats of family/friends, meaning I am very comfortable pet sitting and have lots of experience, which creates a relaxed atmosphere for pets to feel safe and most importantly happy!
About: Hi! My name is Rosie, and I’ve been passionate about caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve gained hands-on experience through nearly a year and a half of voluntary work at a doggy day care, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, and keeping the dogs happy and entertained. What began as school work experience quickly turned into a long-term opportunity, as the staff invited me to stay on after I finished school. I also spent three months working on a farm, where I handled, fed, and cleaned a variety of animals as part of my training. I’ve completed my Level 1 Animal Care qualification and began working toward Level 2 before taking a job in retail, with plans to return and complete my studies. Alongside my practical experience, I’ve always had animals in my life — currently, I share my home with several dogs and cats, and have grown up around animals since childhood. I’m kind, reliable, and truly love caring for animals, which is why I’m excited to offer my services as a pet sitter. You can trust that your pets will be treated with the same love and attention I give my own x Even though I currently have a part-time job, caring for animals is still a big part of my everyday life. I take full responsibility for my own pets at home, making sure they’re fed, clean, healthy, and happy. Pet Care fits perfectly into my routine as it allows me to continue doing what I love — working with animals — even while balancing another job. My goal is to eventually pursue a full-time career in animal care, and this is a great step toward making that dream a reality. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always treat the space with respect and aim to make the animals feel safe and secure. I follow any routines or instructions provided closely, as I know consistency is important for their well-being. I take time to build trust with each pet, using calm body language, gentle handling, and positive interaction. I make sure the environment stays clean and hazard-free, always keeping an eye out for anything that could affect their comfort or safety. My priority is to make sure both the pets and their owners feel confident and relaxed while I’m in their home.
“Clare has done an excellent job with taking care of our Riley! She even took it upon herself to give him a bath (checking with us first to make sure it was ok and what shampoo to use) after he found something (!) extra smelly to roll in! Thank you, Clare!!”

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Wigston
We had to arrange a cat sitter last minute and we’re so glad we found Adiba! She was so quick to respond and made everything really easy from the beginning. She kept us updated throughout our time away with regular photos of Milo. With a more timid cat, we were happy to see Milo getting more comfortable and settled with her as the days went on. We felt completely at ease knowing he was in good hands and would definitely recommend Adiba to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their pets. We’ll 100% be using her again whenever we go away!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Wigston on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 1,133 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Wigston. About 93% of Wigston sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
